"Eau des Sens" – Water of the Senses – creates confusion. A confusion of the senses. Some see colors when they smell it. Others hear a whisper. They feel they're tasting the divine nectar Ambrosia or gently brushing their nose over soft, cool skin. That is "Eau des Sens"! A sensational score for the senses. What a enchanting illusion. The starting point was a new olfactory perspective, a kind of philosophy of gentleness. The gentleness of the body. The gentleness of sensitive skin, a gentleness where body and mind merge and draw from a fresh, all-encompassing source.
"Eau des Sens" owes its soul and character to the way it is made. With leaf, blossom, and peel, the citrus fruits unleash their entire concentrated life energy. The neroli oil brings a floral branch, providing a particularly zesty impulse. And the delicate orange shimmer still hints at the blossom. "Eau des Sens" is a true DIPTYQUE-style experience. Just when you think you've understood it, seen through it, it leads the senses in another direction, suddenly revealing facets of wood and unfathomable spices. "Eau des Sens" is round, harmonious, and tender – and, to quote the poet Paul Eluard, "as blue as an orange" that shines on its green branch like the southern sun. Then "Eau des Sens" becomes deep again – deep like a breath, absorbing the warm woody notes and the fresh ginger scent. One might almost think "Eau des Sens" is out of its mind, so audaciously does it juggle its elements. And perhaps it's not very sentimental at all, but rather sensual – sensitive.
Is "Eau des Sens" a women's or a men's fragrance? For a DIPTYQUE fragrance named "Eau des Sens" – which also sounds like "Eau d’Essences" – this question is doubly contradictory. Yet "Eau des Sens" smells so good that we forgive it everything. A true balm for the senses.
